The authors are trusted experts who draw on extensive experience in diverse classrooms and schools. Sample lessons, vignettes (engagingly read by both adult and child narrators), children's literature suggestions, and "Your Turn" learning activities enhance the book's utility as a classroom resource, professional development tool, or course text. A companion Study Guide for teachers can be downloaded and printed.
